OxyPrem uses harmless light (more on NIRS) to determine absolute haemoglobin oxygen saturation in any human tissue.
OxyPrem is a reusable device which offers better clinical care due to its high quality, while substantially reducing waste.
With its excellent performance in repeated placement and its high reading certainty, OxyPrem sets new standards in precision.
High-quality components and advanced algorithms allow for superior reliability, especially in low-perfusion environments.
Several easy ways to attach OxyPrem to the patient (bandages, CPAP, ...).
Simple disinfection using alcoholic wipes.
OxyPrem's glue-free fixation preserves the skin, and its very soft silicone hull is highly comfortable to wear.
OxyPrem can be used in any patient at the risk of hypoxia and on any body part which is at least 30 mm thick.
Since OxyPrem is reusable, costs are reduced drastically when used routinely or over longer time periods.
